Laser Vascular Therapy is a precise, non-invasive treatment designed to address a variety of vascular skin conditions. This procedure targets abnormal blood vessels in the skin, including broken capillaries, diffused redness, port wine stains, cherry angiomas, and isolated spider veins and leg veins, eliminating these vascular imperfections.
Utilising YAG Nd laser technology with a specific 1064nm wavelength, this treatment selectively targets haemoglobin (red pigment) in blood vessels. The laser energy generates controlled heat to induce a process called selective photothermolysis. The blood vessel undergoes photocoagulation, causing it to seal off and collapse. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs these coagulated vessels, significantly reducing their raised or discoloured appearance on the skin's surface.
The laser's accuracy ensures only the targeted blood vessels are treated, leaving surrounding healthy skin tissue unharmed.

how does laser vascular therapy work?
The vascular laser delivers precise light energy to target blood vessels beneath the skin's surface. This energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin (red blood cells) in the blood, causing the vessel to heat up and collapse.
Over time, the body naturally removes the treated vessels, reducing their appearance on the skin's surface.
expected outcomes of laser vascular therapy
Reduction in visible facial redness and broken capillaries
Improved appearance of facial and leg spider veins
Removal or fading of cherry angiomas or port wine stains
Eliminate imperfections, signs of vascular irregularities
Overall, a more even skin tone and clearer complexion
